Ferrari F250 Hypercar Invite Teases Final Design As New Tester Spied

  • Ferrari has invited its wealthiest clients for the F250, the successor to LaFerrari.
  • Invite box opens to reveal a sketch of hypercar that echoes 2022’s virtual Vision GT concept.
  • F250, or whatever the final version will be called, is expected to feature a hybrid V6.

Update 6/30: Our spies have spotted another prototype of Ferrari’s F250 hypercar cruising the roads near Maranello, as we inch closer to the official reveal. The car remains heavily camouflaged, but its silhouette appears to match the outline teased in the invitation. According to our spy shooters, the new hypercar has an extremely low and flat profile in person and will feature upward-opening doors.

New Ferrari hypercars only come along once a decade, and the folks at Maranello are annoyingly good at keeping their design secret until they’re ready for us to see the finished result. But it looks like the brand’s best customers might have been sent a hint of what to expect when the successor to 2014’s LaFerrari drops later this year.

Currently codenamed F250, but sure to feature another name when it debuts, Ferrari’s flagship has been spotted numerous times on the road close to the Maranello factory, but always wearing either rigid disguise panels or a full suit of black cloth camo that obscures the finer details of the shape.

But one wealthy Australian fan @ferraricollectoraus revealed on Instagram that he’d been sent an invite for the launch of the new car, and posted several pictures of the handsome red invite box, including a line drawing inside it that must surely be a teaser for the production model.

The simple silhouetted illustration is made up of just six individual pen strokes, but shows a car with a strong line running nose to tail, bisecting the front wheel arches and clipping the rears. It also features a pinched waist making the profile appear lean and athletic, pronounced front fender peaks, and an almost flat rear deck and tail section.

We’ve been expecting the F250 to be heavily influenced by Ferrari’s two-time Le Mans-winning 499P whose hybrid-assisted V6 powertrain is also expected to feature on the road car. But as The Drive notes, the car in the drawing looks more than a little like the 2022 Vision Gran Turismo, a virtual concept Ferrari created for gamers.

The Vision GT concept claimed to be powered by a 120-degree, 3.0-liter V6 that generated 1,016 hp (1,030 PS) and 664 lb-ft (900 Nm), and was assisted by a 322 hp (326 PS / 240 kW) tri-motor hybrid system that gave the car all-wheel drive.

Ferrari quoted a 2,756-lbs (1,250 kg) dry weight and said the GT could sprint to 62 mph (100 km/h) in less than 2 seconds and 124 mph (200 km/h) in under 5 seconds and lap its Fiorano test track in less than 1 minute 10 seconds – which would make it a crazy 10 seconds faster than LaFerrari.

Gearhead Nirvana: We Visit Porsche’s Atlanta Workshop Where Classics Get Reborn

Image
Maintaining any car is a duty that different owners approach in vastly different ways. For some, a few zip ties and a rattle can of spray paint is good enough. Far on the other end of the spectrum are owners like the ones who take their car to the Porsche Classic Center in Atlanta. During our trip there to see the new Macan EV in virtual reality , we had the opportunity to tour the Classic Center as it was deep in the midst of multiple repair and restoration projects.  To the owners of these cars and to the Porsche brand itself, what these mechanics, technicians, upholsterers, and painters are preserving is heritage. The center’s mantra “As good as new. But with even more character” is on display for anyone who visits the site.

The New Honda Prelude Will Be A Global Model, But It Won’t Be A Toyota GR 86

Image
Last month, Honda rolled out the red carpet for the the hybrid Prelude Concept , heralding the comeback of a historic name in the motoring world. Now, this car has been given the green light as a global model, set to cater to both right- and left-hand drive markets. However, it might not quite rev up to be the full-throttle sports car many enthusiasts were anticipating Despite being labeled a concept by Honda, the car presented at the Japan Mobility Show (JMS) looked quite production-ready. And if we know anything about Honda, they have a knack for unveiling thinly-disguised production cars as concepts. Take the last two Civics, for example. The 10th-gen Civic Concept was more or less the Civic coupe of that generation with a more aggressive stance and altered bumpers, while the 11th-gen Civic Prototype was virtually the same sedan that made it to production.

As Good As New Porsche 918 Spyder With Just 43 Miles Could Fetch $2 Million

Image
This Porsche 918 has been kept in a climate-controlled storage facility ever since it was delivered. The car is one of just four Hong Kong-spec 918s in existence. Driving the hypercar is a 4.6-liter V8 hybrid powertrain with 887 hp. A 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder that has never been registered will be available at a Hong Kong auction running from April 2-5 and is expected to sell for between $1.5 million and $2 million. The 918 Spyder launched as one of the ‘hypercar holy trinity’ alongside the Ferrari LaFerrari and McLaren P1. While there are many low-mileage examples out there, few are thought to have been driven less than this one. Over the past decade, it has been driven less than 70 km (43 miles) and has been owned by a single person in Hong Kong. It has also never been registered for road use. The listing doesn’t specify how the car has racked up 70 km without being registered. Read: This Porsche 918 Is One Of Just 2 With A Gulf Oil Livery Nevertheless, this car i...
